Bloodsong
Author(s): Melvin Burgess
'You thought you were watching my death', hissed the dragon. 'But you were watching your own'. And then he lunged. Forced into the clutches of a bloodthirsty dragon, Sigurd is fighting not only for his life, but for the survival of an apocalyptic Britain. For Sigurd is the chosen one; the golden warrior boy blessed with the courage of a hero and the strength of a lion. In a world where power and corruption is all consuming, can he fulfil his destiny and overcome the tyranny that threatens to destroy him?
